📋 About This Mod
XStorage
XStorage lets you open multiple chests at once, rename them, and move items/stacks to the most suitable chest.
Features
Name your chests
By pressing alt-interact ('Shift + E' by default), you can give your chests a name. This name is shown when you hover over the chest, and also in the panel above the inventory when a chest is opened.
Open many chests
To display multiple chests, XStorage creates a new panel in the UI. The panel will automatically expand to fit in as many chests as it can. You can restrict the width and height in XStorage's config.
When you open more chests than XStorage can display on the screen, this panel will become scrollable.
Moving items/stacks to the most suitable chest
When you auto-move an item from your inventory (via 'Ctrl + Click'), XStorage tries to find the most suitable chest to put the item/stack in. It does so by picking the chest containing the highest quantity of the item you are moving, from all opened chests that still have free space.
'Ctrl + Click'-ing an item or stack in any of the chests will always make it go to the player inventory (equal to vanilla behaviour).
Multiplayer
In multiplayer games, all players need to have XStorage installed, or it will not work. If you play on a dedicated server, the server also has to have XStorage installed.
Mod compatibility
As of v1. 1. 3, XStorage can be stopped from opening nearby chests, if the chest being opened is marked with the XStorage "SkipMark". This allows other mods, such as Seidr Chest, to function as intended.
To do this, set the 'XStorage_SkipMark' to 'true' in the Container's ZDO, like so:
container.m_nview. GetZDO(). Set("XStorage_SkipMark", true);

Known shortcomings
There are a few things that, at this stage, XStorage does not do well, or at all:
- Gamepad input: XStorage does not deal with gamepad input at all. That is to say, the UI kind of breaks when you use a gamepad. I will look into this in the future, but for now this mod is pretty much mouse/keyboard only.
XStorage looks best when playing at a 16:9 ratio with a UI s

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Streamlines inventory management by letting you view and manage multiple chests at once.
- Auto-sorting feature saves time by moving items to the best chest.
- Decent community support with 80 endorsements and over 3,400 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Limited to UI improvements; doesn't add new storage types or gameplay mechanics.
For players who hoard items and struggle with chest organization. If you're tired of opening chests one by one to find a place for your loot, this mod is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with vanilla storage or want more than just UI tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or Nexus Mods; manual installation is usually just dropping files into the game folder.
- After installing, test with a few chests to see how the multi-open interface works before relying on it in a big base.
- If you're using other UI mods, make sure they don't conflict by checking the mod's comments section for compatibility reports.
